NIC Ordering Script Failing after RHEL6 Upgrade

We were doing nic (ethernet) ordering based upon driver overloading viz bnx,e1000,tg3 etc.Now we have ran into a weird situation after upgrading a old box to rhel6 all our interfaces are getting detected as e1000e so our nic ordering script is failing.

One option to overcome this is by mac address but our higher authority and client is insisting on driver loading only Can you gurus suggest me a solution based on driver loading or any other thing apart from Mac address that can solve this issue?

Thanks Peers, Idea provided by Hamid and Jalal works you should go under
/etc/sysconfig/network/devices and edit some files also you can do it via
rules file present under /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices
